Obtained From

• turtle pheromones (30 Adventures)

Notes

• Decreases the delay of Turtle Taming adventures in a zone.
• This effect is shared with and stacks with the following:
  • turtling rod/Flail of the Seven Aspects
  • Garter of the Turtle Poacher
• Additionally, causes one fewer usage of Apprivoisez la tortue to be required to save Guard Turtles at The Outer Compound.

History

• Before the Turtle Taming revamp on July 15, 2014, this effect was required to encounter Turtle Taming adventures. Before the revamp, this effect worked differently:

  Using the turtle pheromones granted 10 turns of this effect, or 5 turns if you had the Garter of the Turtle Poacher in your inventory.

  You encountered a Turtle Taming adventure after 0 to 7 turns have been spent, or 2 to 4 turns with the Garter.

  You were not able to stack this effect.

  This effect could not be removed. Attempting to do so would fail with the message:

  No matter what you do, you can't get the smell off of you.

References

• The French phrase "Eau de Tortue" literally translates to "Water of the Tortoise", implying a urination joke, but is actually a reference to Perfume.
• The effect was formerly named "Eau D'tortue", a misspelling, as the "d'" contraction should only be used before words beginning with a vowel sound.
